Congressman Ben Cline, current representative of Virginia’s 6th district, shared a series of tweets critiquing the role of the judiciary and the impact of policy on migration issues. These tweets were posted between March 31, 2025, and April 1, 2025.

On March 31, 2025, Congressman Ben Cline expressed concern over what he described as "activist judges overstepping their bounds and blocking the President from enforcing the law." He referred to this as "judicial activism, not justice" and highlighted his anticipation for an upcoming @JudiciaryGOP hearing aimed at examining the influence of personal politics on the bench and their potential to undermine the Constitution.

In a post from April 1, 2025, Cline referenced Cindy Romero’s neighborhood being affected by the Tren de Aragua gang, calling it an invasion rather than migration. He criticized activist judges for prioritizing their political agenda over protecting law-abiding Americans, suggesting that they care more for criminals than the community.

Later on April 1, 2025, Cline highlighted a significant reduction in illegal border crossings, comparing figures of 137,000 in March 2024 to 7,000 in March 2025—a 94% decrease. He attributed this drop to having a President who enforces the law and prioritizes the nation’s interests.
